If you’re a legal immigrant in Arizona, walking down the street with your child, you may now get stopped by the police solely based on the color of your skin.

While it seems incomprehensible that such a law could be passed in the United States, it’s a sad fact. It’s also one that Shakira spoke out against yesterday and then actually headed down to Phoenix to discuss in person with the mayor and other locals.

Turns out, she isn’t the only celebrity (or American with a conscience) to object to this law. At last night’s Billboard Latin Music Awards, Ricky Martin said the ruling “makes no sense” and then went off on inequality in general:

“You are not alone. We are with you. Put a stop to discrimination. Put a stop to hate. Put a stop to racism… Long live love, long live peace.”

The singer himself came out of the (obvious) closet last month.

A few others on hand also chimed in on the issue.

Said Latin Artist of the Year winner, Larry Hernandez: “It’s regrettable that they are discriminating against for the simple fact of looking Latino. It’s not fair. We have to say no to that law.”

Meanwhile, at a Phoenix press conference, Arizona native Linda Ronstadt stated: “Mexican-Americans are not going to take this lying down.”

It’s a contentious issue, one many Americans don’t understand. Sound off with your thoughts now!

It’s too soon to tell if Bret Michaels will truly be able to resume performing next month, as a message on his website teased this week.

But the good news continues to pour forth about ailing rocker.

“He’s doing good. He’s not by any means out of the woods, but he is getting better every day,” said sister Michelle Sychak in an interview with the Omaha-based “Todd N Tyler Radio Empire” radio show on Wednesday.

Michelle added that her brother’s speech was coming along.

“Things are definitely looking up… he sounded good – as good as you can when your brain’s throbbing,” she said. “He seems very coherent to me and like he knew what he was saying… [He] does sound like Bret. Truth be told, I think he’ll outlive us all.”

Sychak said Bret is stable, but remains in the intensive care unit. As always, we wish him the very best.

Sorry, Ben Roethlisberger. If it’s a taboo subject, carries pop cultural significance or involves a celebrity (you’re 3-for-3), Eminem is gonna go there.

Ben has been immortalized in one of the rapper’s songs, fittingly called “Despicable.” That’s when you know you’ve made it … for better or worse.

The Pittsburgh Steelers QB thus joins the ranks of Moby, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Michael Jackson, his mom, ex-wife and countless others.

“I’d rather turn this club into a bar room brawl/Get as rowdy as Roethlisberger in a bathroom stall,” Eminem raps, referencing Ben’s recent scandal.

The line recalls March incident in which, at least according to the unnamed Ben Roethlisberger accuser, he sexually assaulted her in nightclub stall.

Em’s about as subtle and restrained as he is un-funny.

EMINEM 1, BIG BEN 0: Sorry dude. You had it coming.

While prosecutors declined to charge the two-time Super Bowl champion, citing lack of evidence, the Steelers’ organization and the NFL were none too pleased.

After all, it wasn’t the first time a woman made such allegations about him (Andrea McNulty was the first). Big Ben was suspended without pay for six games.

His lame apology didn’t exactly make him appear sympathetic.

Roethlisberger’s attorney and Steelers representatives did not immediately return calls seeking Big Ben’s appraisal of the new Eminem track … shockingly.

“Despicable” is streaming at Rapradar.com, a site run by Em’s manager. It does not, sadly, appear on his upcoming new album, Recovery, due out June 22.

Tiger Woods is hitting the links this weekend, and wouldn’t you know it, his ol’ mistress Joslyn James is going to be naked in the same city! What are the odds!

The stripper / porn star is appearing at the Uptown Cabaret in Charlotte, N.C., tonight and tomorrow while Tiges competes at the Quail Hollow Championship.

Joslyn James, who linked a violent, dirty string of Tiger Woods text messages last month, also stripped at a Georgia club near where Tiger played the Masters.

Here’s a promotional advertisement for the class act’s visit to N.C.:

HER FAVORITE WOOD: Good one, Jos!

The stuffed tiger is a cute touch, as is the “wood” play on words. Although presenting his texts on an Adobe Flash “iBone” on her website was way better.

Interestingly, Joslyn says that Tiger’s BFF and part-time pimp, Bryon Bell, arranged for her to rendezvous with Tiger during this exact same event in 2007.

He won it that year.

Heck, with a Tiger and Elin Woods divorce reportedly imminent, maybe he should arrange a quickie tonight for good luck … mofo’s currently tied for 61st.

Looks like congratulations are in order for cycling champion Lance Armstrong: he’s expecting his fifth child, and second with girlfriend Anna Hansen!

Lance announced the news this way: by creating a Twitter account for the kid, “Cincoarmstrong.” That may be the lamest thing we’ve ever heard.

The quote-unquote baby’s first entries: “I got 2 arms, 2 legs, a nickname, and [I’m] 2 inches long. See y’all in October…” Lance, honestly dude?

The joyous cheese-fest continued with this: “I’m now the size of a lemon, 3.5 inches long, and weigh 1.5 ounces. And oh yeah, I’m on Twitter.”

Maybe John Mayer has a point after all.

Anna Hansen is pregnant! Again!

Added the soon-to-be dad via his own Twitter.: “What to say? Yet another blessing in our lives. I cannot wait!” Seriously, we are happy for them.

The star then confirmed the news to his hometown paper, the Austin-American Statesmen. The future child’s future name will be Jack or Olivia.

Armstrong and Anna Hansen welcomed son Maxwell Edward just 10 months ago.

The Tour de France winner / cancer survivor has three kids with ex-wife Kristin.

NOTE: Follow THG on Twitter. We’ll spare you staffers’ baby-related Tweets.

Earlier this week, Miley Cyrus made wishes come true for many children in need. (See photos below.)

Now, in her new single, the young singer makes wishes come true for fans that want to see her follow in the footsteps of Britney Spears; i.e. sing seductively about how much all guys want her. Just sample these lyrics from the song “Can’t Be Tamed.”

For those who don’t know me, I can get a bit crazy
Have to get my way, 24 hours a day
‘Cause I’m hot like that
Every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention
Like I’m under inspection, I always get the 10s
‘Cause I’m built like that

It’s safe to say we take issue with any song whose lyrics simply state: I’m hot and desirable. But we’ll leave it to readers to debate. Listen now:

What do you think of this single?

Meanwhile, it’s music video day on THG! Watch and listen right now to Christina Aguilera and Justin Bieber do their thing with new songs.

Following the report that Charlie Sheen has shacked up with Angelina Tracy, this alleged mistress is speaking out.

A couple weeks ago, she denied accusations that referenced her as a “paid escort,” and now she tells Radar Online that rumors of her living with Sheen are equally false.

“I am not Charlie Sheen’s mistress,” Tracy said. “We are just friends and we are definitely not living together.”

Hmmm… but could you be friends with benefits?!?

In mid-April, a tabloid caught Sheen sneaking out of his rehab facility, donning a disguise and visiting Tracy’s apartment. Since then, both Angelina and Sheen’s rep have said the actor was simply helping a fellow addict through a difficult time.

Sources say Brooke Mueller is sick of Charlie cheating on her and will soon file for divorce. But Tracy sort of denies playing any role in this development.

“I am living alone in my own apartment,” she said, failing to directly address whether or not she receives visits there from a certain prostitute-loving, knife-wielding sitcom star.

For the first time since he was replaced as host of The Tonight Show
by former host Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien is speaking out. In a 60 Minutes interview to air on Sunday, Conan says that had he been in Jay’s shoes, he would not have returned to the show after handing it over to
someone else. “Everyone’s got their own way… of doing things. I wouldn’t have done that,” says Conan, who has moved on to a sold-out comedy tour and will begin a new late-night show on TBS in November, adding that in a similar position, he would have “done something else, go someplace else. I mean, that’s just me.”

NBC made the controversial move because ratings were low both for Conan as
well as Jay’s 10 p.m. show. Jay was villainized for his role in the fiasco
by many viewers and other late-night hosts like David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel, but he insisted that he never wanted to leave The Tonight Show and he was as much a victim as Conan. “Conan got screwed, I got screwed,” he said. But on Live! With Regis and Kelly on April 30, David Letterman disputed that claim. “How did you both get screwed? He got canceled, you got a show,” David said. “I found it wildly entertaining.”

You know what they say. It’s fun while it lasts, but eventually, the stress of being an adulterous, Nazi-loving jackass is bound to catch up with you.

James, whose cheating on Oscar winning wife Sandra Bullock has been well documented and led to her filing for divorce, is feeling really stressed!

This week, the biker seemed to ket his emotions to get the better of him, physically lashing out at celebrity gossip media trying to take his picture.

James later apologized to the shutterbug, coming out of his office in person to approach the man, blaming his behavior on feeling “stressed out.”

“I thought he was going to yell at him,” said a witness. “But Jesse said, ‘Hey man, I’ve been kind of stressed out lately. Sorry if things have been getting kind of heated between us. I know you’re just trying to do your job.”

Jesse James is going through some tough times!

“‘If you could just try not to get in my face too much. Just keep a respectful distance, everything is cool.’ Then they shook hands. It was very cool.”

The dude is also attempting to repair his image, although a simple handshake and apology isn’t likely to smooth the Jesse James Nazi photo over.

He does have a master plan to make us forget Michelle McGee, though.

A source hilariously tells Radar Online, “There’s a lost Chihuahua that has been hanging out around Jesse’s office for the last two days and Jesse has been trying to lure the dog over to him so he can get him back to his owners.”

LOL. Whatever it takes, right? “Jesse even bought a hamburger and held it out for the dog, but every time he got close, the dog ran away.”

Sandra Bullock can relate.

Matthew Morrison may not have heard of Justin Bieber, but Sean Kingston is pals with this teen icon.

The singers team up for the music video “Eenie Meenie.” It features The Biebs chilling with pals, enjoying a party and, of course, macking on some lady friends.

Unlike Christina Aguilera’s new video, there’s no controversy over whether or not Bieber and Kingston are too sexy below. Sorry, gals. But it’s still worth a long look:

Eenie, Meenie… minie, moe: If Justin Bieber were in your bed, would you ever let him go?
